Stadium	The Benteler-Arena is the smallest stadium in the Bundesliga, with its capacity of 15,000. It is fairly modern, having been built in 2008, but it was designed for a lower league team and not for Bundesliga football. It feels like a classic small club stadium, with just one single tier. The high and large roof, however, does do a good job for the acoustics and it can lead to a good atmosphere when full, especially as fans are so close to the pitch.
Recent History	Paderborn are the smallest club in the Bundesliga and the smallest to reach that level in some time. They only reached the German top tier for the first time in 2014, and then suffered a dramatic fall as they finished bottom of the top tier in 2014/15 and then bottom of the second tier in 2015/16. Under coach Steffen Baumgart, they were able to recover. After another poor season in the third tier, they then responded to their back-to-back relegations with back-to-back promotions in 2017/18 and 2018/19 to once again take their place in the Bundesliga. As such a small club, the academy is quite small too and it’s tough for Paderborn to produce players who are ready for the highest level. As such, they have to sign lots of journeyman players each year and this has mixed results.

Paderborn finished a respectable seventh last season after a strong start and finish to the campaign. Their dip in form between December and March ultimately killed any chance of promotion but that would have been a long shot anyway due to the quality of opposition in the division. It has been a busy summer for Paderborn with many incomings and outgoings at the club. One man who has stuck around is Coach Lukas Kwasniok, a manager who keeps his cards close to his chest, with regular changes to his starting line-up and formation. The club has brought in eleven new faces to the squad in the summer, among those are experienced Liga 2 players Robin Bormuth and Robert Leipertz. Kwasniok has looked to strengthen in the defensive area the most, with Polish centre-back Adrian Gryszkiewicz a notable addition, while Jasper van der Werff has signed on a permanent deal. There have been departures in the aforementioned area with Robin Yalcin, Marcel Correia, Jamilu Collins, and Frederik Ananou all moving on so new personnel were needed. Kai Proger and Maximilian Thalhammer have also left so it could take some time for the new-look squad to gel. You would expect more of the same from Paderborn this season, especially in terms of their counter-attacking style of play. This worked wonders on the road last season but a focus will be made on improving at home, where they were poor last campaign.

Target

Promotion - Paderborn should not be written off as promotion contenders, there is strength-in-depth and plenty of quality in the ranks, a decent start and overall consistency will be the deciding factor.
